Caption This 107

Quick note: As previously reported, I'm holding an exhibit of my photos at a local studio. It's called Photography For The Rest Of Us, and we're having a reception Monday night (Feb. 9) at ArtVenture(1438 Aldersbrook Road, London, ON) from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. ET. All are welcome...and my wife's bringing the food. If you're in London and have a hankering to see my work live, we'd love to have you!

I admit to being a little aggressive when I get a camera in my hand. To wit, I take pictures of homeless people. Probably not the prettiest pictures I can take. But my goal isn't to be pretty. I tell stories. And some of them are anything but pretty.

Your turn: Please suggest a caption for this photo. You can be as creative or witty as you wish, and you may suggest as many captions as you can come up with. Winner gets added to my new-and-improved blogroll. Everyone else gets my everlasting admiration.

Colleen takes it this week with the delightfully simple "Blue view." Colleen's site, Loose Leaf Notes, has long been one of my favorite reads. She lives in a place, Floyd, Virginia, that just might be the friendliest place on planet. The way she writes about her community, it's no wonder anyone who visits her site wants to move there, too. Please drop by her blog and send her a happy.

ok....that's enough for now. I'm sinking into a frigging depression! this country should NOT have homeless people. Its absolutely beyond my comprehension. Unfortunately they have no voice with the big mucky mucks who run this place.

i just overheard a colleague saying today,"funny, how when one is into photography, everything becomes a photo-op!" it struck a chord somewhere and is still rankling a bit........thank you for the honorable mention on the last one ......and congratulations and good luck as well on the exhibition, Carmi...I wish I lived somewhere closer to be able to make it there in person.....for the current post, the captions that come to mind are:"Oh, the humanity!!!""Not from around here, are you??!!!"
